I know this has been asked several times. Want to make the right choice...between 373s and 410s.. I hear pros and lots of cons..but wonder if the cons are from people who actully have the 4.10s installed or people who just hear and say its too much gear..to the guys that have 410s how do you feel about running 410s in your mustang? Would u keep it? Go back?
I currently have 3.27s
Notchback, 306 heads cam intake exhaust n/a setup 5 speed
Don't care about gas mileage
Both street and highway

I had 4.10's on my 88 gt and it was completely stock and love them. But 1/4 runs I would redline in 4th by the end of it. Just make sure u have tires cause they would spin easily.

4.10 should be ok. My cousin put them behind an AOD in his fox, that was dumb. His car tachs out at like 109. Another buddy has a 5 speed new edge with them and loves them. American muscle has a chart comparing rpms with each gear ratio if you're interested

Have 4.10 in my coupe and with a blower I admit I should of went with 3.73 or 3.55 because of the blower but then again it only sucks when you want to go high speed on the freeway for a very long time otherwise I liked it a lot

I have 4.10 in my modular, and 3.55s in my fox only cuz it will be sprayed which that gear will prevent me from running out. Now as for your car, the 3.73 gear at the 1/4 will be inefficient hands down if ran in an n/a form. Set the car up to cross the traps right after peak rpm. 3.73 will not do that. Depending how high or low you shift is gonna determine what gear to run, not to mention the weight of the car, how much power its making, and the tire size along with transmission gearing. More info about what heads, cam, intake, and exhaust systems you will be running and i will figure the correct gear giving i know where its gonna peak and hold. Good luck with your car

4:10's behind a 6 speed is closer to 3:55's w/ a 5 speed. I would suggest 3:73's if you have any doubt

I have had everything from 2.73's to 4.10's.
With a T-5 or Tremec 5 speed, the low first gear of the transmission is just too low for 4.10's. If you were to do a 6 speed convertion, i would run the 4.10"s as the transmission has a much higher ratio in first gear. I always recommend 3.55's or 3.73's. Since you have 3.27's already, i would go with 3.73's.

You are doing it again. Going out of your way to explain shit in detail. It's lost on 85% of cafords. Now you want to bring in tire heights, and talk about crossing traps. Most people on here haven't even been to the track.

So it depends a lot on the engine and transmission you are using, right?
Would 4.10 be too much on a 96 Cobra (with stock T-45) for a DD (it's never going to see the track)?
Sorry for thread hijack but I am curious about this too. I know lots of peoples are happy about their 4.10s but it's never clear what peoples use their car for...

When someone asks for info, i think its best to explain in the best possible way even if the person or most of the people on here dont go to the track, this is the right way to do it for the 1/4 mile, unless in my opinion the car has no desire to go to any track whether it be roadrace, strip or autox. Pretty much what im trying to do is shed some light and prevent the op from having to shift into 5th gear and run 4th out efficiently.Im sure you know what im talking bout.peace

Most people just install gear depending on what their buddy told them and what they think is ideal without giving hard evidence of what is really correct, when i set up what gears i choose its not becuz my friends tell me he really likes his 4.10s lol, this is not attack at anyone in this post or anybody else whatsoever. Ill give you any example, you take a zo6 transmission that has a 1st gear ratio of 2.66 vs a tr3650 which has a 3.38 and use the same tire, same shift points, same hp, same weight, same car, etc, only difference being the gear ratios in the tranny and what is gonna happen is the car will finish in 4th different than each other becuz of the different tranny gearing, and that is why im so anal about knowing every spec i ask for. You have to take all the variables into consideration otherwise it will not work at all. Too many times i have seen people install gears and go to the 1/4 mile and go slower becuz of the improper gear selection which cause them to shift into 5th which results in a loss of et big time. Same goes for being undergeared, the vortech zo6 that ive been fucking with has the stock 3.42 gears, and were crossing the traps in 4th at an extremely low rpm when it should be crossing at peak rpm or just a little after, that is why im having 3.90s installed in it. I need more info from your car, then i will tell you exactly, i dont want to half as my decision for lack of needed info. peace

3.73 is definitely not enough, i came up with 3.90s bro, i tried to make the 4.10 work but considering your heads cam shorties and intake i have a 90 percent chance of knowing where its gonna peak and im assuming your running a 26" slick and its just to close to make a true decision without seeing the dynograph. I could nail it if i had the graph but its all good. The 4.10 will work if you have a a higher shift such as around 5800-6000rpm.

With the stock 5 speed. I would run 3:73's on a 26" tire, and 4:10's on a 28" From your few specs, I don't see you shifting any where north of 6300rpm tops. I run 4:10's with a c4, nos, and 28"s. I cross the traps @ 7200rpms.. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

warhorse, so whats gonna happen when he goes out to the 1/4 mile and he has rpm left on the table which could be used up by going up to a higher gear such as 3.90? Having left over rpm is not ideal at all.Not trying to start shit with you, just want to see your views and hear what you got to say.
